"Cutting edge, legendary, postmodern architecture may define Chandigarh but it's the city's matchless style that will captivate you. Known worldwide for its elaborate buildings and arterial roadways, this calm, quiet city on the foothills of Shiwalik boasts of a plethora of incredibly landscaped gardens and parks. Of particular interest is Rock Garden, a fantasyland created out of industrial waste and rocks. Gateway to Himachal Pradesh, Chandigarh is known for its proximity to major tourist hillstations like Shimla, Manali, Dharamsala."
Deriving its name from Goddess Chandi, with a temple in her dedication, Chandigarh is recognised for its progressive architecture, designed by the French architect Le Corbusier and his team. Unlike other major Indian cities, Chandigarh's legacy is not defined by the eras that have passed it by, but by its domestic architecture. This green glazed beauty while being a paragon of order doesn't follow any rules. Soak in the sheer amount of culture, urban design, space, restaurants, shopping and, best of all, the spirit of its inhabitants and in no time you will be punch drunk on their unmistakable, infectious zest for life.
